Secure accounts, transfer data, and remove access safely.

Risks of manual offboarding

Delays leave access open; automation ensures immediate lock-down and consistent data handling.

Suspend & secure

Suspend the user, reset sign-in cookies, and revoke tokens to cut off access right away.

Drive transfer

Transfer ownership to a manager or service account; verify shared drives and quotas before deletion.

Groups & aliases cleanup

Remove the account from groups, shared inboxes, and aliases; document any residual access that needs attention.

Archive & retention policy

Apply consistent retention/legal hold policies prior to deletion to meet compliance requirements.
